goodell tells MV to stay home. just the beginning of a probable suspension.

Kinda have mixed feelings about this one! Due Process is incomplete.....but a Federal indictment was handed down. The high profile of this case demands action....but he'll probably still get his paycheck!

Oh, I definately think the indictment is warranted,no question(in addition to a sound thrashing) Any time you break (or bend) a law you are asking for trouble!

i was pointing to that as to why the nfl felt the need to have him sit. most likely for the season, or longer if this isn't resolved.
altho, he may be looking at more serious stuff than being benched.

Agreed....but an indictment still must run it's course, and this punk will draw his check, unlike Tank Johnson, who after paying fines and prison time(paying his debt,so to speak) has no job and is suspended for half the season. That doesn't seem right to me!

The Falcons or the league can't afford the fallout of having this idiot around. Hell they were protesting at NFL HQ, Richmond Courthouse, Ga Dome, and The Falcons facility last week. Can you imagine what it would be like if he was actually at one of those places.

Likely be out for the year, or longer!

I think he made a mistake on Tank....already been suspended and fined....then Goodell adds more!

DH: that's what I mean...Tank spent time in jail for the guns and stuff and the Bears had suspended him some games, and then Goodell piles on! It's not like PacMan who just disregarded every rule in the book.

but he isn't just a chicago player, but an nfl player. i'd imagine it's all in writing about code of conduct etc. and of course he was a repeat offender...whether it was overkill, i don't know. but i don't really feel bad for the guy. violated probation, so he obviously didn't learn his lesson the first time, and continued to make some pretty bad choices.

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/footb...n_N.htm?csp=34

it says in that article that the bears suspended him one game for being at the club where the shooting occurred--surely there was more from chicago than that?

timmgirvan · #14 07-23-2007, 08:47 PM

I don't think Tank played in post season. And since his debt was paid in prison, there's a latin phrase...ex post facto...after the fact.....that's the part that Goodell is ignoring!

depends on what's in their contract. all that fine print about code of conduct, etc.
kind of like the military--there are laws saying you can't suffer double jeopardy, try telling the JAG that!

from the initial article: violated league policies, including the Personal Conduct Policy," Goodell said in a letter to the quarterback

yeah, i liked how he handled pacman, and now this. it's what the league needs--it's what (ahem) the MLB needs.

after all, if the ref from the nba resigns while being investigated--no indictments as yet mind you, now vick gets benched (should have been years ago, but that's just me) and yet bonds, who is being investigated, and supposedly indictments are forthcoming, merrily makes his way from stadium to stadium, while selig seemingly ignores it all. he's like an ostrich in the sand.

it's a shame tho that atlanta didn't do so first--is this so the commish is the bad guy? or did he have to be so, since atlanta wouldn't fall on its sword?
daunte sign with anyone yet??
